We are very fond of Vultures in my family. This is a portrait I painted of one we sponsor at the Hawk Conservancy, a Hooded vulture called Captain Thunderbolt. Isn’t she lovely?:

Yes, she is lovely. 😎 Vultures have an important role in the ecosystem and they are fascinating creatures. I was reading about how strong their stomachs are and how they are able to processes the food they eat without getting sick. I was really impressed.
